Re: stepper vs servo

Hi all,

Jon: No, absolutely wrong! Steppers have discrete steps,....

Does the X and Y axis of a stepper moves in concert or one after
another? What I am trying to figure out is:

A move from x0 y0 to x7 y7 , is the path like this

_|
_|
_|
_|
_|
_|
_|

or like this:

/

Then how about a move from x0 y0 to x14 y7 ?

Like this

_/
_/
_/
_/
_/
_/
_/

or like this?

__|
__|
__|
__|
__|
__|
__|

or neither?

Exactly, how are the axes syncronised?

Mightily grateful
